Review: Excellent biography of one of the pioneers of industrial design. - Today, we take product design for granted. We are surrounded by devices that enhance our every day lives. But, as this book documents, the early designers struggled with how best to “style” the objects we now take for granted (radios, TV’s, recording devices, etc.) A great book for anyone involved in design!
Review: Great biography of the Greek immigrant and American industrial designer John Vassos. - The only book that goes into great depth about the life and inspiring industrial ground breaking design of John Vassos. His illustration work has relevance today for both industrial artists and graphic designers. His striking Art Deco style incorporated into his industrial design and illustration should be studied and more well known for all the contributions thIs artist turned Everyday objects into items of functional beauty. As an artist I am inspired by the book and hope younger artists can become more familiar with the powerful drawings like the phobias as well.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent biography of one of the pioneers of industrial design.

Today, we take product design for granted. We are surrounded by devices that enhance our every day lives. But, as this book documents, the early designers struggled with how best to “style” the objects we now take for granted (radios, TV’s, recording devices, etc.) A great book for anyone involved in design!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great biography of the Greek immigrant and American industrial designer John Vassos.
*by M***N on February 6, 2021*

The only book that goes into great depth about the life and inspiring industrial ground breaking design of John Vassos. His illustration work has relevance today for both industrial artists and graphic designers. His striking Art Deco style incorporated into his industrial design and illustration should be studied and more well known for all the contributions thIs artist turned Everyday objects into items of functional beauty. As an artist I am inspired by the book and hope younger artists can become more familiar with the powerful drawings like the phobias as well.

### ⭐⭐ Lost interest...
*by A***. on June 24, 2020*

Not an interesting read, at least from an industrial design standpoint. Wish they had expanded on his actual designs and renderings.
